Problem: I am unable to connect to the Smogon server at my house. I can connect to any other servers properly but the smogon server won't let me connect. If I go to other places such as my school I can connect to it properly, but not at my own house.

I don't believe that I've got any active proxies or firewalls that would cause an issue, but I'm not an expert so I'm not 100% sure to be honest. I posted a picture showing where the issue is arising which will hopefully help.

Problem: I'm having the same problem as others, where when I try to connect to Showdown, it gets stuck at "Joining Showdown server..." However, I have also tried connecting with http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/~~showdown:80/lobby, and neither works. I have AVG antivirus, but web security is disabled.

EDIT: With help, the issue was fixed. If you're having this problem, try clearing your cookies/localStorage for *.pokemonshowdown.com; it works. Thanks Cathy and padz.

And of, course, your problem (include any error messages verbatim. give frequency, etc.). Pokemonshowdown.com just seems to have completely disappeared off the internet. I've tried connecting through google and direct linking, but it's just gone. The reason I'm posting this here is because I can't seem to find anyone else saying anything, or anything saying there would be an update today.

I'm having the same problem as darkrai494 in the post above

However, when i try play.pokemonshowdown.com/teambuilder, my teams are there as well as the ladder, it is just the lobby I could not connect to...

error id: "bad_httpd_conf"

I have mac osx version 10.7.3, and I have no problems playing pokemon showdown on the site, but when I try to use the downloaded version, which I have deleted and redownloaded many times, I get the error id: "bad_httpd_conf" problem.

Everytime I try to log on pokemonshowdown, I always get stuck on Joining Showdown Server... part. I already tried clearing my cookies, but I can't seem to find where the localStorage is. Any suggestions?

Furthermore, it started when I tried importing a team with a wrong syntax.
